While at the Huntington Gardens today, we ventured into the Japanese Garden. A beautiful waterfall was at the entrance. We spotted a duck who seemed to be caught in the swirling waters. He tumbled down the stream and was dunking his head looking for tasty algae. A rough way to get lunch but he seemed determined to get a good meal.

It's been an excruciating 3 weeks while Fidel's Pizza closed for summer vacations. Started dreaming of a pie a few days ago and was there on Monday to get their signature sausage/chorizo pizza. Banco has been missing the crusts.......

I recently was part of a location scout to the Los Altos apartments in the Koreatown section of Los Angeles. Inside amongst the circa 1926 flats is a spectacular 2 story one that was William Randolph Hearst's love nest for Marion Davies. Designed by Julia Morgan, the gilt work and plaster ceilings are amazing. A video tour is here
